Hourglass

If there's one thing I've realized from the family and maternity sessions I've shot, is that the gift of life can be the single most driving force behind who we are and all that we do. Each moment we share with our loved ones is like a grain of sand in an hourglass. Sometimes we feel that if we miss one there are a million more to look forward to. Sometimes we want those grains of sand to fall faster, to speed up time, to bypass the painful moments in our lives. And there are times we wish for them to slow down, to cherish, for us to soak it all in. But the truth is those grains will fall at the same rate no matter what and we'll store each one in our heart and memory. And believe it or not just when we feel like we are down to our last few grains of sand, we can turn that hourglass over - and start again.
